I'm an energetic, committed, and fully CELTA qualified teacher who has a passion for teaching English and a track record of excellence. After teaching English in Istanbul for over 2 years, I understand both the excitement and the challenges that accompany learning a new language and how to effectively use cultural experiences to make the lesson successful and beneficial. In my classes, I typically set aside five to ten minutes at the start of each class for students to share their “highs” and “lows” for the week, a ritual that my students appreciate enormously.
